Fastlane 2023 Review

You’ll notice my timestamps are wildly inaccurate for this show; that’s because today was my niece’s third birthday, and I did not get home until after 8:30pm EST. But fear not; Peacock was a Rewind button! So I’m starting the show over and getting my thoughts together for you! No time for an intro; let’s go! 8:39pm: I’ve rewound to the beginning of Fastlane and … Continue reading Fastlane 2023 Review

Walsh asks Buffy to lie down on … Continue reading Nine, Ten, Never Speak Again: A BTVS Retrospective, S4 E10

Veruc Assault: A BTVS Retrospective, S4 E5-6

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Episode five of season four is called “BEER BAD”, and I have one-million-percent seen this on lists of “The Worst Episode Of Good Shows”.

Because there have been plenty of really bad episodes … Continue reading Veruc Assault: A BTVS Retrospective, S4 E5-6

They both do their part in rescuing people while Superman repairs … Continue reading Monkey Business: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E5-6

Top Ten Movies That Made Me Cry

Good fiction makes me cry, man. I’ve never hidden this fact. If something is well-made and has basically any amount of emotionality to it, I will likely shed a tear or two. Usually not much, but make no mistake… there are movies on this list that made me sob. Just full-on ugly cry. I think part of my brain appreciates writing that is able to … Continue reading Top Ten Movies That Made Me Cry
